Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal said the EU will make every effort to facilitate Kyiv's attacks on oil refineries in Russia.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, doubted Michal’s right to speak on behalf of the entire European Union.

Zakharova expressed the opinion that such statements are dragging Europe into the maelstrom of confrontation.

MOSCOW, October 11 - RIA Novosti. Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal can hardly speak on behalf of the European Union about his intention to facilitate Kyiv’s attacks on oil refineries in Russia, but with the help of such statements he is dragging the EU into the maelstrom of confrontation, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

In her Telegram channel, she cited the words of the Estonian Prime Minister, who said that the EU would make every effort to facilitate Kyiv’s attacks on oil refineries in Russia. The diplomat called Michal “the minister of all affairs for the year,” recalling that he managed to change the positions of climate minister, minister of economy and minister of justice, while heading each of the departments for no more than a year.

“Who gave him the right to now speak on behalf of the entire European Union?” - Zakharova wrote.

According to her, the entire European Union is wondering on whose behalf the head of European diplomacy and former Prime Minister of Estonia, Kaja Kallas, is making her stupid statements.

“Now another Estonian “sprinter” has shown up. In this simple way, such crooks are dragging Europe into the maelstrom of confrontation,” Zakharova concluded.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said on October 5 that Ukraine must pay for attacks on Russian peaceful economic targets, and the Russian Armed Forces are now engaged in retaliation for the actions of the Kyiv regime.
